Chapter 004 Go to America and Earn (Pit) Dollars
On the day of departure, a family of relatives came to see him off. Listening to his parents' repeated advice, the wishes of his sister and brother-in-law, and Xiaoyu's reluctance, this scene seemed like a farewell. An Feng said with a sweaty face: "Hey, I'm on a trip, not on Mars, what are you doing?"
The adults laughed, but Xiaoyu kept pulling the corner of his clothes, and she was reluctant to let her uncle fulfill her promise to take her to the United States. The sister coaxed her and said that her uncle would come back soon, but the girl became smarter and cried and shouted to go with her. In the end, An Feng had to promise to take her next time. After pulling Lagou, she stopped. Carrying the tea eggs made by her mother, she got on the bus to the city.
I did not stop in the provincial capital and flew directly to the capital. It was already evening when I arrived. I called Tony at the hotel and made an appointment for a meeting. I used the hotel's computer to go to the Hui. I found that the auction in New York had ended. The "Temini" sold at an average of US$1.2 million per carat and a total price of US$36 million.
If it was exchanged for RMB, it would be more than 200 million, and there would be luxury houses and sports cars, and my godfather would be willing to call him... And this is just the tip of the iceberg. The blue diamond one or two (come back) in his hand was more expensive, and other high-quality diamonds would not be much worse.
If the catalogue comes out in the future or the technology of artificial diamonds is found, I would probably really have to think carefully about whether to travel to the moon in my life... After sleepless night, An Feng simply held his computer and talked nonsense with the diving parties in the penguin group, talking about which one got married and which one got married, and attacking those bad silver who posted happy photos. The next morning, An Feng took a taxi to the local notary office to apply for a notarization of his driver's license.
The so-called driver's license notarization means that if you want to drive abroad, you must translate the certificate into the language of other countries (old driver's license). It is generally mainly in English. Holding a notarization allows you to drive in most states in the United States without getting a driver's license, which provides convenience for self-driving tours. When you find out that the normal processing speed is five days, Anfeng cannot catch up.
But it is not difficult to have money in this world. The "VIP" channel provides one-hour fast pick-up service. After paying the money, the notarization document with a red seal was successfully obtained. In the afternoon, Tony drove over to pick him up, but he still went to the VIP and went to the consulate. He had to ask for a consulate visa when he went abroad.
Speaking of the mainland passport book, it is really not easy to use. It has no visa-free visa with Europe and the United States. If you sign on arrival, someone excitedly went to the consulate to ask for a visa, but he was rejected before he could say a few words... When An Feng answered the visa officer's questions, he was mostly "no". He chose the United States for the first time when he went abroad. His passport (empty) was likely to be rejected, but after the letter presented by Tony's company, the visa officer passed it.
Is it easy to go abroad to Hong Kong or Macau? I don’t need to prepare anything for visa-free visas in more than 100 countries. I just need to buy a plane ticket. Some people say that the strength of national strength is also reflected in the passport book. You have to review the visa officers everywhere you go, and you are still proud? Of course, the American empire should not be happy. If you go to North Korea, Iran, and Afghanistan, their pass rate is far less than ours.
After a busy day, An Feng took a flight from the capital to Los Angeles, USA. He originally planned to go directly to New York, but the flight was going to leave at night. He was in a desperate mood. Instead of staying in the hotel all day and unable to go out, he might as well fly to the West Coast first. This time Tony also accompanied him to set off.
Tony said seriously: "You are a big customer, and the company can't treat you badly." Tony is much more convenient. Anfeng passed the CET-4 English at university and once fought for CET-6, but it may not work if he really communicates with foreigners. Tony has lived in China for several years, and he is good at Chinese and is more than enough to be a translator.
More than ten hours later, it was night in Beijing time, but the sky outside the cabin was still clear. The plane landed at LAX Airport. An Feng and Tony pulled their luggage out of the airport building. The weather was clear in the morning, and at first glance, there were blue sky and white clouds. The air was so good that he was a little uncomfortable.
Tony frowned: "The air in Los Angeles is not very good."
An Feng lowered his head and walked hard, you must be a high-level black man!
Due to the tight schedule, An Feng stayed in a hotel near the airport and had dinner with Tony later. He wanted to see Los Angeles, but there was no good place near the airport and he had to take a bus if he wanted to leave. In addition, shopping with a man in the United States is easily mistaken for GAY.
After staying for another day, the plane flew from the west coast to the east coast and landed in New York. He met another person at the entrance of the passage, holding a sign in his hand and wrote Tony's English name. Tony hurriedly walked forward, and An Feng followed. The other party was a white man in his thirties and forties, with black hair and a little taller than An Feng. He looked a little like Xiao Bei with a beard. He shook hands with An Feng and said, "Hello, Mr. An!"
"Hello!" An Feng also said.
Tony introduced: "He is my boss Anthony Brullian, who will pick you up and drop you off in person."
Anthony smiled and said, "An helped me earn more than three million US dollars. Maybe when can I continue to bring me millions? I have to watch you!"
An Feng smiled speechlessly, foreigners are really realistic.
"Please!" Anthony signaled them to go together.
There was a black BMW 750 parked in the airport parking lot. Tony helped An Feng put his luggage on, then sat in the driver's seat. Anthony and An Feng sat in the back row and started chatting in English. Tony also helped translate from time to time. Anthony knew how to lead the topic, and in a short while he eliminated the strangeness.
Speaking of the money, Anthony said with emotion: "An, you are ready to deal with those people in the tax bureau for a huge tax of more than 10 million US dollars?"
"It's so cruel!" An Feng said, no wonder the Americans unanimously agreed that the IRS is stronger than the FBI. By the way, they were planning to deduct one-third of the money before they got it.
"Maybe I should give you a good idea," Anthony said with a smile.
"Please say it."
"If you simply want to get some money here and go back to China when traveling, then the tax is paid. If you stay here, invest, consume, buy real estate, etc., next April, I believe the tax bureau will deduct a lot of deductions from your personal income tax."
An Feng asked: "I am not familiar with the tax laws of the United States, how do I calculate this?"
"I am also very confused about the specific calculation method. I am afraid you have to hire a private accountant. I can only remind you that if a wealthy class like you invests more than one million dollars in the United States and proves that it can create ten jobs, the Immigration Bureau will rush to apply for immigration for you."
"I'll think about it." An Feng said.
Anthony nodded: "I have to think about it seriously."
An Feng got to the city center an hour by car. An Feng received a check in the reception room of the auction company. Anthony came over with two goblets and a bottle of champagne and poured two glasses leisurely. Anthony smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. An! Are you considering where to go for a vacation?"
An Feng Yangyang said the check in his hand: "I'm afraid I have to think about how to deal with this check first."
Anthony said: "I'll recommend a bank to you, VIP treatment. If you don't have an SSN (Social Security Number), it's very troublesome to get an account yourself."
An Feng was about to agree, but an idea flashed through his mind, "Do you think I will stay and invest?"
This guy is very clever!
Anthony raised his cup: "Why not? For the poor, this is hell, but for the rich, America is heaven!"
An Feng had already considered it in the car, and he had no future in his development when he returned to China. He is still concerned about artificial diamonds. This way of making money should not be used on his compatriots. The United States is good, with a developed economy, rich people, and likes shining stones.
This place undoubtedly meets the conditions of "silly people and a lot of money", so An Feng nodded.
